Do show us what you’re building. Even presuming the one @justin1 has works out fine for me, what you’re building may inspire some thoughts for a traveling steady too. D :cool:

Thanks for the interest & offer for help! Quaint description of Lumby, sounds like a great place to have home base! I’m not in a panic to ship so I’m fine with CP presuming they don’t fold but as I discussed with @justin1 if something comparable/not too outrageous popped up in the meantime...

Well, this thread has led me to a relevation! My Casio “Label It” can print on shrink tube!**. Wooo-hoo! **Have a look at the fine print on your shrink label. The Casio tape is said to be print on shrink sleeve but they say it does NOT have the insulation properties (voltage breakdown...
